Modeselektor - Happy Birthday



I'm quite surprised to see that there hasn't been a thread about this yet. I have now listened to the album several times and think that it has a great sound and is skillfully put together.

Tracklist

1. Godspeed
2. 2000007 (feat.TTC)
3. Happy Birthday
4. Let Your Love Grow (feat. Paul St. Hillaire)
5. B.M.I.
6. EM ocean
7. Sucker Pin
8. The First Rebirth
9. The Dark Side of the Frog
10. The Dark Side of the Sun (feat. Puppetmastaz)
11. Black Block
12. Edgar
13. hyper hyper (feat. Otto von Schirach)
14. Late Check-Out
15. The Wedding Toccata Theme
16. The White Flash (feat. Thom Yorke)
17. Déboutonner (feat. Siriusmo)
Bonus track: I Can´t Sleep (Without Music)(feat. Maximo Park)


I havn't heard much of their old stuff but I was fortunate to see them live at Creamfields-Andulucia just a few weeks ago (what a crazy party BTW). I was impressed then and even more impressed now after listening to this release. It is extremely solid from front to back. The tracks are littered chock-full of amazingly dirty beats/baselines that would make any hip hop producer envious (Yes even Timba and Dre). As for some track highlights, 'Hyper Hyper' will sound hilarious to those who remember the old orignal cheesy and fun dance tune. Thom Yorke is even featured in a Radiohead-like 'The White Flash'. This LP shows some rare ingenuity that is sadly lacking in most EDM artist albums of today.

It is atm at the top of my list for fav album of the year so far. And this LP is not by any means in my typical style..

9/10

I listened to this a lot during this summer. Really good album. Their remake of that Scooter song is just hilarious (in a good way) and the 'White Flash' track with Thom Yorke as a guest is great. My fav off the cd.

Fun listen throughout

HEard a few tracks of this and it sounds pretty good.

Got the 2000 & one remix of The Dark Side carted on beatport. pretty simple track but should do the damage in the club.
